a strong +1 to Inveterate’s comment re thanks & appreciation of kabubushi!
Kab, echoing positive sentiments others have expressed to your post here. I’ve been here in NWBO a number of years, and have always appreciated your comments, insights & posts. Pls don’t let those few dissuade you from your ongoing contributions. I and many would miss your thoughts.
I’m still strong in my DD research & beliefs re NWBO, and continue my ongoing adding, including a bunch Fri @ 0.455 and 0.4512, with more opportunities perhaps to come next week! I know you’re reevaluating the size of your holdings and am ok with that, as anyone should. All the best to you and thank you for your contributions over these years. Cap
Oops, meant LP not LG
Agree with what you said BB, great post, and I def think this exclusive in-licensing agreement PR’ed today — and the prior one entered into, particularly how quietly they were done, continue to affirm my opinion re the sophisticated plans LG et als have afoot for nwbo. Cap
Insider:
“I met Jerry stiller in 1999 on a job I was on. awesome guy had a short conversation with him. He was the type of guy you could talk to as if you knew him for years.”
That’s awesome, what a great couple, always enjoyed Stiller & Meara.
Smokey, agree with you on (IMHO) the positive aspects of all this, except “I believe the EXCLUSIVE licensing deal makes revelation of the terms less sensitive …” Exclusiveness is not relevant to me, as I said for decades I’ve headed up large tech corporate global IP & Licensing ops for decades and licensing terms were always v confidential, so just find this level of disclosure quite the exception. Not saying good or bad, just giving me food for thought to think about is all. Cap
Sorry Cap’n, didn’t think my reply was obscure, did see Jerry Stiller/George’s Seinfeld dad, gave me a chuckle, thx,
Chiugray: when I read “for a very small amount of cash upfront, we just acquired 5 new patent families of DCs just filed in 2023” absent more explanation, those words to me that say 5 families of patent “applications”, no issued patents, so who knows how the patent prosecution goes, where it leads re issued patents, all just IMHO.
(For the record, like v much the today PR and quiet activities re in-licensing of IP/Know How & patents!).
GLTUA & NWBO, been long & strong for many years.
Cap
Agreed BB. Also think the timing interesting, the signing & announcement of this exclusive licensing deal, with a total expected cost of about $2.5 mil ( not sure this includes up-front payment, IMHO it doesn’t), on the heels of closing the abt $3 mil HF placement. Coincidence … who knows, but not a big believer in coincidences, just saying … Also, lead a few large corporate global IP organizations and have NEVER seen or issued a PR divulging license terms, including esp royalty rates and total estimated costs. Curious & v interesting to me.
Re George Castanza’s father suppressed image: totally, thumbs up :)
Ummm Cap’n Obvious, may want to reread the paragraph re royalty payments. Cap
Rdneum, appreciate both your posts re price projections & timeline. Agree it’s nice to see something/anything re timeline estimates. Thx!
Curious if anyone else caught the Cel-Sci/CVM short commercial ad on CNBC this morning like 8ish EDT? It was v short, like 15s ish, and I was so caught off-guard by it, didn’t really catch what the message was, other than seeing/hearing the cos name, stock symbol etc. It’s the first time I ever saw them do an ad, esp during a prime show like the Squawk Box segment, thought it interesting and wanted to share.
FEIW, article re supposed 14 Market Maker Signals:

LOL, you just gave me a big chuckle, albeit I think unintentionally, but just the same, thx HYPEROPIA for starting a sentence with “in hindsight …” didn’t know which way to look :) … ok geek humor done, sorry all …
ATL, precisely my thought exactly!!!!
I kept holding back from responding, but with each comment re max $12 billion valuation & how happy they’d be with $10, sure seemed like a concerted swarm by a few to sway/skew expectations. BS IMHO
Cap (now in Augusta)
IMHO, the only way sense can be achieved re fung_derf’s post is via the “ignore” function.
Yup, Dean Kamen. Has a problem solving/inventing facility on the Merrimack River in Manchester NH. I was there when he testified before a House Committee on Technology, Innovation & Patents. Only person I ever saw testify before Congress wearing denim jeans & shirt. Every committee member was there, rapt at what Dean had to say. Great, down to earth guy who, along with his team, solve real world problems, designing artificial hearts, wheelchairs that climb stairs, not to mention in DC the ubiquitous Segway for tourists. Designs, licenses out and moves on to next invention. (And as Captain Obvious noted, wiki is wrong, still alive and innovating.)
ILT,
I’m totally in agreement! Certainly woulda been nice if Pr was re MAA filing, but I appreciated the PR, the transparency, and feel comfortable filling is imminent.
Cap
Agreed, no idea where the consultant(s) is/are located either, if it’s even relevant, but there surely are a number of them in the UK. Aside from Kings & Ashkan, there’s the Advent folks, and I think statisticians are located there, not to mention MHRA regulators. Who knows?
PS Apologies to all for typos my prior (and other) posts. I really need to proofread before sending, but never have … old dog syndrome:)
Life balance can def affect outcomes in the real world!
I was involved in billion+ dollar sale/acquisition transaction, where the seas were parted/issues mandated to be resolved because the acquiring CEO (European) had a July vacation plans and was not going to disappoint his grandchildren by changing them, even though this was a critical transaction. This, the marching orders from the PE/VC owner/sellers to this deal was; resolve/remove any material remaining obstacles to closing the transaction … they were … and the deal was signed off on & went through by his vacation.
So if conjecture by some that a purported upcoming 2 week UK/EU Fall school break did perchance have any relevance/bearing on the 2 week delay mentioned in the NWBO PR re a consultant’s availability, if that necessary person is located in the UK/EU, I don’t find it unfathomable that whatever is needed of that person would simply have to wait. Personal priorities can vary greatly depending on whether in the US or UK/EU.
Doc,
Completely in agreement, ever impressed with folks here, including yourself!
Cap
It’s an even smaller world, as I know Vint & Sigrid as well. And while he & Bob Kahn are credited as being the Fathers of the Internet due to their developing the TCP/IP protocol @ DARPA, he did not receive the Nobel Prize for this work. However, he did receive the Turing Award among his many awards & accolades, which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Computer Science. After he left UUNET/WorldCom/MCI he went on to be the Chief Internet Evangelist @ Google.
Agree, always thoughtful/insightful comments, thank you.
QL300, thank you, these comments re litigation & motion process are imho spot on and helpful to the uninitiated. Appreciate your, Cap
Arguments focus on the positions/arguments submitted by the moving/opposing parties’ briefs + whatever the trial judge wants to address. It’s more open-ended than appeals, which are generally locked in by the trial record & arguments related thereto.
Hoff,
I agree it’s a good decision and helpful vis-à-vis defendant’s MTD briefed argument, and I’m sure you know this, but for others I would like to clarify: the Herrington decision is NOT governing precedent in our case, so school’s not out, but may be persuasive to our Judge and a ruling on the MTD in NWBO’s favor. Just trying to make sure to keep things in perspective and not get ahead of ourselves.
Cap
Amen to that, it would be greatly appreciated !!
Vikinginvest: “Instead of just reposting Mav’s posts, could you translate them for those of us who need it?”
Superb effort, thank you Hoff, kudos & respect to you! Cap
Second your using the block option & also used it for two posters: the one here you keep giving air to & fish person.
Doc, that is my belief (and hope) too!
GLTU and those afflicted with this horrible disease.
Best, Cap
“Nothing wrong with that, It's just as speculative as the other posts on this board”
That’s kinda what I thought when I posted it. Lots of recurring, infinite-loop topics & discussions as we all wait, so figured why not something new/different.
Caveat: This is just a passing thought that occurred to me reading an article and thought I’d share. Again, to emphasize, I’ve seen ZERO in the ether to give this any credence, but I liked the thought nonetheless:
With Steve Jobs’ son, Reed, starting up the for-profit Yosemite VC fund to invest in fighting cancer & funding research, with over $200 million in funds already, I just thought it’d be so interesting if that somewhat curious $3 million NWBO mentioned came from Yosemite.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/irenebenedicto/2023/08/01/steve-jobs-son-launches-new-vc-firm-with-200-million-to-fight-cancer/?sh=4fe2c6ed65b5
Yup, agree and see it that way too, thx!
Completely agree with Bio, Gary and sentiments similarly expressed by others:
I think these kinds of efforts are not helpful & are counterproductive.
Cap
It may also be called the “Prisoner’s Dilemma,” and the same thought has crossed my mind as well, Branster.
It’s hard to assess likelihood, but sure would be an interesting development, and not out of the realm of possibilities.
Cap
Bio, we’re good, I appreciate you and all your contributions to this board.
Cap
Bio, I completely agree, and am not interested in settlement offers or awards, likely years down the road, but about what comes to light during discovery.
I’m quite familiar with large, multiparty litigations, particularly those involving well-funded defendants. Assuming the Defendants’ 12.b.6 motions are denied, and NWBO’s SJ motion is too, then we’re on to the world of defendant’s entering Joint Defense Agreements for certain cost-sharing, endless Discovery motions practice, etc. It’s a marathon, with NWBO’s goal to discover all you itemized, and likely more, then holding defendants responsible during a jury trial.
So I was only specifically commenting on the thread re whether any supposed $100 million or $1 billion settlement offer should be considered. My point in mentioning the magnitude of defendant Citadel’s earnings was simply to say that, assuming damning information comes out about defendants actions & manipulation are unearthed in discovery, a jury could well make a significant statement, that’s all.
Just all IMHO.
I know CVM is not highly regarded by many, but their PIII data clearly reflected the same vis-à-vis chemo suppressing immune system response to treatment. In the CVM trial the chemo arm resulted in missing the clinical endpoint, whereas the non-chemo arm not only met, but exceeded the endpoint goal.
